Sanjay Mishra finds new passion for theatre, plans to continue stage performances after Ghasiram Kotwal

will portray Nana Phadnavis, an influential figure from the Peshwa period, in the Hindi version of the famous Marathi play 'Ghasiram Kotwal'. Directed by and Bhalachandra Kubal, the production is set to debut on August 14, 2025. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Reflections on returning to theatre Talking to Free Press Journal, Mishra candidly discussed his return to theatre after years of working in films. He expressed that he is reliving the theatre life once again, mentioning how they sit on the floor for hours, watching each other's performances while enjoying vada pav and chai, feeling a raw joy. He pointed out that in films, once a shot is done, actors disappear into their vanity vans, surrounded by hierarchies and egos. However, in theatre, everyone is equal and together. Film versus stage—Mishra's perspective When questioned about the contrast between acting in films and theatre, the veteran actor highlighted that films are very technical, with many lenses that capture your expressions and convey them to the audience. In theatre, only the actor is present, fully exposed, and responsible for reaching each member of the audience personally. For him, theatre is a return to purity where the actor's craft alone must engage the audience without the support of technology or post-production. After performing in Ghasiram Kotwal, he feels inspired to pursue more theatre, enjoying this phase once again and intending to continue with it. Theatre roots and renewed connection Mishra, known for his great work in films like 'Masaan', 'Ankhon Dekhi' and 'Vadh', started his career in theatre. He studied at the National School of Drama (NSD) and spent his early years acting in plays. Now, with Ghasiram Kotwal, he is going back to his roots and enjoying the close connection that theatre offers.

US woman slams influencer for mocking Indian accent in viral video

A social media influencer found herself at the receiving end of the internet after a woman of Indian origin called her out for mimicking the accent of an Indian woman who was arrested for shoplifting in the influencer had recreated the woman's interaction with US police - recorded on a bodycam - where she asked officers if she could pay for the items she was accused of stealing. But the mimicry didn't land well with Cassandra Jerome, an Indian-origin creator, who accused the US-based influencer of casual responded with a video of her own, posted on Instagram, where she expressed her discomfort with the trend of mocking accents, especially when used as the punchline. "I'm not going to sit here on a high horse and say stereotypes can't be funny," she said, adding, "I'm a human being. I have a pulse and a sense of humour. These things can be done tastefully."But her issue lay with how some jokes stripped context and relied solely on how people sounded. 'When people start dying over the Indian accent, I think that's hilarious. It just comes across as so uneducated to me,' she elaborated that while humour involving accents could work if done with intention and awareness, reducing someone's way of speaking to a joke only reflects poorly on the person making it."If the Indian accent is used in a joke that has some context and is done so well that it shocks me, it gets a laugh. But when the punchline is that we sound weird, I have learned something about you. All it tells me is that your worldview has not moved much past your nose. When does it stop being funny?" she also pointed out how common that very accent is, especially for people raised in India. 'Thousands of people around me had that accent. You're 'hehe-ing' and 'haha-ing' over something that's entirely normal to so many people. Expand your horizons and leave us alone. Please,' she the viral video here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cassandra Jerome (@casjerome)The video prompted strong reactions from viewers online. Several users supported Jerome's stance and shared their own experiences of being mocked for their accents.'What's interesting is that there are so many variations of Indian accents, but people always go for that one exaggerated version,' said a user. Another user added, 'It's just CRAZY when people want high levels of respect for their culture but show such low respect for others.'advertisementA user shared a personal anecdote: 'I remember getting a ride from this girl in college—her Siri voice was set to an Indian accent. When someone asked why, she said it was funny. That never sat right with me.'One of the users pointed out the deeper irony in the influencer's actions: 'This is crazy because this Black woman has likely faced rejection in some Indian spaces too. And now, she's adding to the confusion and hate by mocking an accent. It has to stop somewhere.''Honestly, every accent is beautiful, Indian, French, Mexican, Chinese, African, Central American. If you're laughing at how someone talks, I think you're just uncultured,' said a user. Cassandra Jerome's video led to a wider conversation around humour, intent, and the need to move beyond lazy stereotypes.- Ends

UK-Ireland box office: Fantastic Four: First Steps holds top spot as Naked Gun, Bad Guys 2, and Jurassic Rebirth trail behind

Disney's The Fantastic Four: First Steps retained the top spot at the UK-Ireland box office in its second weekend, pulling in an additional £3.1 million. This brings its cumulative total to £15.4 million. The film has already outperformed five other Marvel Cinematic Universe titles and is expected to soon surpass the final UK-Ireland earnings of Ant-Man (£16.3m), Iron Man (£17.4m), and Ant-Man and the Wasp (£17.8m). I recognize a Mother move when I see one. #FantasticFour #ScarletWitch The Naked Gun debuts strong but falls behind in the rankings Paramount's The Naked Gun opened with £1.82 million across 632 sites, averaging £2,880 per venue. A few site results are still pending. The film's debut edges past comparable comedy titles like Rush Hour (1998) and Nativity 3 (2014), both of which also opened at £1.81 million and ended with lifetime box office figures of £7.4 million and £7.6 million respectively. Despite the promising start, The Naked Gun could not overtake The Fantastic Four: First Steps at the top of the chart. Animation and franchise films show strong holds The Bad Guys 2 from Universal saw a modest 19% drop in its second weekend, earning £1.33 million and reaching a cumulative £4.9 million. Although unlikely to match the £13.7 million earned by its 2022 predecessor, it remains a solid performer. Also from Universal, Jurassic World Rebirth dropped just 20% in its fifth weekend, earning £1.27 million. With a total now at £31.6 million, it stands as the fifth-highest-grossing film in the Jurassic Park series. It may still catch up to 2022's Jurassic World: Dominion, which ended with £35.1 million. Superman, horror entries, and global titles round out the charts Warner Bros.' Superman fell from second to fifth, earning £1.26 million on its third weekend—a 34% decline. Its total now stands at £24.3 million, trailing only three films from the previous DC Extended Universe lineup. Sony's horror film Bring Her Back, directed by the Philippou brothers, opened with £499,877 from 499 cinemas, with previews lifting its total to £1.2 million. Other horror entries like I Know What You Did Last Summer and 28 Years Later added £195,150 and £94,671 respectively to their totals, now at £2.5 million and £15.4 million. Yash Raj Films' Saiyaara, an Indian romance, held impressively with only a 3% drop, adding £489,484 to surpass £2 million, making it the year's highest-grossing Indian film in the UK-Ireland market. Other noteworthy entries included Warner Bros.' F1: The Movie, which added £485,798 in its sixth weekend, taking it to £20.8 million. Smurfs added £353,000 (total £3.8 million), while How To Train Your Dragon continued to perform with £184,568, crossing £22 million. #FantasticFour grossed $24.4M in domestic previews 💰 Biggest preview night of the year Even long-running titles such as Lilo & Stitch remain strong in cinemas, adding £58,000 in its 11th weekend to reach £36.9 million. The Fantastic Four: First Steps continues its box office dominance as it heads toward breaking more MCU records in the region.
